Thanks Guys I appreciate it

I'm going to pick up the motor tomorrow morning, and I'm ready.

Just wish I didn't have body work left to do.

Motor looks good! Nice!!!

72SWBChevy · 10-01-2011, 12:43 PM

Engine looks sweet in there! Are those block hugger headers? They fit ok? Someone gave me a set, im considering using them.

Thanks man! They are block huggers. I'm glad I didn't blast and paint 'em, because they only have 2.5" between the collector flange and the crossmember. If the motor were mounted in the rear mount location they would work. easy access to all plugs, and starter. I'm getting a set that will fit my application. Here's a pic of the clearance issue.
